The Blackstone Gorge on Patriots' Day, April 16 2007. If you haven't been to this section of the Blackstone River, as you can see, it's worth a visit. It's a short distance off of Route 122 in Blackstone, and there are signs along the road to get you there. The top picture was taken by the dam at the beginning of the gorge, but the rest were taken in Rhode Island. Probably no more than 100 yards down the path, you cross the state line.
